You can actually use podman as a backend for docker-compose

If you install docker-compose, podman and enable the podman service, it does work quite well.

If you also install podman-docker you basically can run: `docker-compose`, `docker compose` or `podman compose`, all three will leverage podman in the backend.

I use it with podman rootless and I'm quite happy with it.

I wasn't able to get podman + docker compose working after they upgraded docker-compose from Python to Go. Does everything work for you with the newest versions?

All good now, it was an issue for a bit indeed.

The only thing not compatible that I know off is buildkit so you have to make sure it's disabled, they do seem to plan to implement buildkit APIs but it's not done yet

Is docker-compose python version still supported? I thought they moved everything to docker and rewrote in Go.

Not sure if the python version is still supported, i'm using the v2 (go based)
